The typical webapp login process for me is anywhere from 5 to 7 steps, and I'd say I give up about 5-10% of the time after the 2nd CAPTCHA. I can't imagine this is good for anybody, and it almost surely does not reduce abuse either. Just a swirling dark pattern feeding on itself. Everyone likes to ape post-9/11 airport "security" for some reason. #tech #dev #SecurityTheater #DarkPatterns #UI #UX #security

Designers are good people. Some designs exclude people anyway. Alan Dalton explains why—too much to remember—and offers a practical fix: accessibility personas that help you recognize problems while you’re designing, not after. Homework included.

Kids (teenagers) are using computer-assisted development (Claude and others). But what they produce is weak from a system design perspective. Let's teach them about contrast, UI and usability (UX)! Better now than never. #webdev #ux #ui #design #accessibility #a11y #claude #ai #llm

How do you change the default font for LibreOffice spreadsheet app Calc?

This question illustrates how ux and ui design still has a way to go in major open source projects that seek to compete with popular proprietary software.

  1. The method is not where you’d expect it.

  2. It doesn’t change the default for Calc, only for that file.

  3. Normal users shouldn’t have to mess with “templates” and give them “specific names”.

  4. If the above is wrong, that adds weight to the fact that a fairly tech confident person couldn’t find the correct answer.

If I was a billionaire, I’d set up a Foundation to sponsor work on open source UX and UI design.

@tezoatlipoca@mas.to your reasons are sound from the UX standpoint, but the solution can use some work. As part of the development team, if you agree to something and then sneakily do something else, you’ll will get yourself and the rest of the team in trouble. I suggest that you point out the issue using relevant sources (you may not be in charge of UX) and negotiate that the suggestion can be carried out as a refactor or quick fix. #ux #uxdesign #agile

@controlc@mstdn.ca I have a colleague who says that all software is just trying to put a more pleasant UI on top of Excel, and I think he has a point. #ui #ux

I've been exploring @kagihq@mastodon.social's Orion browser for a bit now. Judging from the overall #UX, I'm beginning to think that Orion is a better (fully #macOS-native) browser than Safari. E.g., Safari shows bookmarks in a browser window, and it closes all folders every time you close the window. Orion has a dedicated bookmarks window and remembers all folders’ open/closed states across launches. There are plenty #IxD details like this one, whose design in Orion simply is superior to Safari’s. Well done!

@girlonthenet@mastodon.social online and in real life, there’s this tendency to think that every surface available can/should be used for advertising or to distract the people using the service. The attention economy has this insidious influence over the rest of society. Users will not have space for their own thoughts, or use their senses as they see fit without interference. #UX #uxdesign

@DanMorgan@vmst.io if you need localization in Spanish, I can help. Much better than an LLM. I also have a IX designer colleague in Curaçao, should you need Dutch. #ux #Dutch #spanish #UXW

What I mean specifically are these endless toggles everywhere. Click-click-click-click. Before it was just a click. Also, why change the most used hashtags into a horizontal list? And what's with that huge button to show more pinned items? What was wrong with the old setup? The carousel wasn't great either, but I liked the version that showed them one below the other. What problems are we actually trying to solve here? I know these aren't shipped yet, but does anyone actually use Figma and discuss UX? #UI #UX #MastoAdmin #Mastodon

Here's an update to my home page. Social media links are no longer boring! The cards expand and float when you hover over them, offering a brief preview of the information you need. Try it live at https://mrwillcom.com/ By the way, the animation is all in CSS. No motion libraries were used. #webdev #design #ux #animation #css

@rocketsoup@mastodon.social think about how accessible are your designs from the very beginning. Here’s a great book that will help you out, and is currently free! https://mastodon.social/@wtrmt/115967736149714518 #UX #accessibility

Tech company developers be like: "You've been using our products for twenty years to you know we care about improving your user experience and boosting your productivity. That's why we're adding two extra keystrokes, a dialogue box and an additional screen to this operation and why periodically we'll ask you if you want to avail yourself of our cloud services with the options 'Yes' and 'Ask me again when I'm concentrating on getting urgent work done'. And why, at random intervals, we'll remotely resize buttons, overlap them, or just plain reposition them entirely to show you we've done an upgrade. And also why our keystroke monitoring algorithm will identify when you've hit a productive train of thought and knock it off the rails with a thirty second advert for a Candy Crush knock-off. And don't forget, for just an extra fifty dollars a month you can have us temporarily not inject random stolen content into all your work." #UX #TechDevelopment
